2021 (2) TMI 973 - HC - Indian LawsSeeking grant of Anticipatory Bail - Compliance with the condition imposed by the learned Appellate Court to deposit 20% of the compensation amount in the form of bank draft within 60 days - HELD THAT:- This Court is of the considered opinion that once bail was granted to the petitioner on the condition of deposit of 20% within a period fo 60 days and thereafter a period of about 1½ years has elapsed and the petitioner has not deposited 20% of the compensation amount, the learned Appellate Court was justified in cancelling the bail because express condition of bail has been violated by the petitioner. The reliance made by the petitioner on Vivek Sahni's [2019 (7) TMI 1561 - PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT], is also of no avail in view of the fact that now the law has been laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court Surinder Singh Deswal and Ors. [2020 (1) TMI 263 - SUPREME COURT]. Learned counsel for the respondent has brought to the notice of this Court that against the judgment passed by this Court in Vivek Sahni's case, an SLP was also preferred which has been dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court on 2.12.2019. However, a perusal of the same would show that the said SLP has been dismissed in limine and special leave was not granted and therefore, it does not lay down any law. However, on the other hand, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Surinder Singh Deswal and Ors. laid down the law in this regard by observing that if a condition of bail which was granted under Section 148 of the Act is violated and the amount is not deposited, then the bail is liable to be vacated. Petition dismissed.
